If you want to use more you have to pay more it's quite simple. Do you think two people, one using 10 Gb and one using 1 Tb should pay the same for the service or they should have the option to pay how much they evaluate worth?
There is unequality, but on the 1% rich it isn't that much different from other countries as you may believe... it's more like a thing the progressist try to sell. They care more that a portion of the population earns 1M each versus another portion earning 10k than if both earned 5k. They only care about the gap, not about the quality. It's good to have very rich people employing and moving the economy, don't be jealous on them.
The prices skyrocked in the whole country, don't think only Rio have it. Everything is centered in Rio because it's the touristic center on the country with enough structure for it (and even so, very poor), Brasilia doesn't have structure and isn't touristic, northeast doesn't have structure and São Paulo isn't touristic. Cars are very expensive to buy for two reasons, first is that buyers buy them even at those high prices, the second is that the government heavy taxes imported so the "cartel" in Brazil can keep high prices with no concern (besides being heavily taxed as well). |
First and foremost, Data Caps are ridiculous because they don`t have no reason to be, mainly in Wired internet. the costs of a person that uses 10 gb or 1tb is pretty much the same for the telecoms, since the maintance costs are pretty much the same for both, what is expensive is to build the infrastructure to serve the clients, after that the costs are the same.
Second, Brazillian super riches are all self made and make a lot of money because they have business that employee many people, but no. Brazillian super riches are most of them somehow milking the government in some way, be it with the 500 billion BRL the federal governemnt pays every year in interest alone or those shady contracts to sell, build or provide services for the government. They are actually spoilling the population with a bizarre tax system that takes money from the poor and middle class and gives it to the super riches. And even, farmers mostly use high tech machinary to produce and those who don`t use modern slave labor in their farms. Even Eike Batista that was the richest man of Brazil didn`t do nothing but rely on his connections in the government to grab public money and make financial scams with companies that never produced nothing but stock value frenzy.
About Rio, yeah, but Rio is a bad stereotype of Brazil in my opinion. It sells to the world the image of Brazil Party People and that here is a place tourists can make whatever they want like having sex with loads of men and women, even underage, use any kind of drugs they want for a much lower price than at their home countries and than go home like nothing happened. Sao Paulo and Brasilia sells a image of a much more serious country that have high ambitions for the future. And Brasilia is the freaking capital, it`s time to move from the Rio being the center of everything, they aren't capital anymore, and from a cultural point of view it has a lot to offer for tourists, the city is eye candy everyhwere and it`s touristic attractions are great, Itamaraty is a piece of modern art as a building.
